Galco first used the J-Hook design in the late 70's, but we always strive for improvement. Now, our Third Generation J-Hook continues to provide the ultimate in concealment. The Generation III J-Hook’s streamlined design hooks over your pants and behind your belt, hooking upward and only showing a small piece at the bottom. A tucked-in shirt will completely conceal your firearm.

The U.S.A. is made with the rough leather side out, providing excellent stability. The smooth leather interior offers a faster, easier draw, and the sewn-in leather sight rails protect both holster and the firearm’s sights.

Made for semiautomatic pistols and double-action revolvers, the U.S.A is available in right or left hand designs in natural finish, and fits 1 1/4" belts.

Galco International was founded by Richard N. Gallagher in 1969 as a small family business in Chicago, Illinois. Known then as "The Original Jackass Leather Company,” Gallagher specialized in holsters constructed of horsehide.

In 1980 the name of the company was changed to Galco International, and in 1983 the business was moved from Chicago to its present home in Phoenix, Arizona. Already famous for high quality and innovative designs, Galco gained worldwide notoriety when the Jackass shoulder system became a “recurring character” on the popular 1980’s TV series Miami Vice. In the new century, Galco continues to be a favorite choice of Hollywood, appearing in more films and TV shows than any other holster maker.

Law enforcement personnel around the nation and across the world – from local departments to the largest federal agencies – are issued and use Galco products. Galco’s array of law enforcement products ranges from concealment holsters to rifle slings approved by the National Tactical Officer’s Association.

Military personnel from pilots to infantrymen have put Galco products to good use in the Global War on Terrorism. Particularly popular among the men and women of our armed forces are Galco’s shoulder holsters, and Galco has for several years offered donated shoulder holsters to deploying service members through their Holsters for Heroes program.
